Young Handlers

Hi! I'm Chloe Spicer (Katie's daughter). I have two Border Collies, Billy and Travis. My mum is Billy's handler and I'm Travis's handler. I love dogs of all types and I really enjoy training Travis at my Mum and Grandad's dog training club. They encourage Young Handlers to take an active role in the training of their family pets. Go to the Venues page for the location and times.

I'm a member of the Young Kennel Club (YKC), a club for handlers between the ages of 6-24. Membership costs just £10.00 per year and includes a large membership pack. Being a YKC member also means you gain free entry to Crufts and Discover Dogs. There is a week-long training camp once a year that YKC members between the ages of 8-16. This camp includes training and fun activities as well as an opportunity to make friends and socialise.

At our Fun Day and Novelty Dog Show in the summer, one of the categories was "Best Child Handler". There was a very high standard and Gaby Hyde was the overall winner. She is currently training her dog, Porsha, to Gold Level standard in the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme.
